I'm Matty Paul Revere Thomas IV, and I've been immersed in music for 25 years. My music venture began with guitars and lyrics. At 16, I won a songwriting contest hosted by John Oates. After college in Boulder, I dived into electronic music production.
Authenticity & Genre Exploration
Authenticity shapes my style, even if it challenges algorithms. My influences span Folk/Indie, Hip Hop, Dubstep, Drum and Bass, and Future Bass. Combining acoustic and electronic under one name became my mantra.
Inspirations & Musical Influences
NOFX, Anti-Flag, Billy Talent, Bob Dylan, and Slug from Atmosphere ignited my musical journey. Electronic artists like Opiou, Bonobo, Grizz, Dirt Wire, and Emancipator expanded my creative vision.
Songwriting & Creative Process
My songwriting is about learning what not to do. Repetition and hooks are vital, and I focus on genuine expression over perfection. I draw inspiration from everyday emotions and experiences.
Career Highlights & Moments
A standout moment was performing at GroveStock, where my new music took flight. It helped me conquer insecurities and reinforced the joy of live shows.
Live Performance & Fusion
My live shows blend guitar, vocals, and production. I incorporate bootlegs and flips to keep the audience engaged and familiarize them with my original tunes.
Growth & Acceptance
Embracing imperfections, both in music and life, has been pivotal in my growth as a person and artist. It's led to greater mental and physical well-being.
Attitude Over Talent
Music isn't solely about skill; attitude matters. Bob Dylan's success, despite his unconventional voice, shows that authenticity and genuine expression transcend technical prowess.
As I continue my musical odyssey, I invite everyone to do the same, embracing authenticity and imperfections along the way.
